The Hadassah Medical Center has expanded its operations internationally, inaugurating a new medical center in Limassol, Cyprus. This strategic move, a partnership with a local entrepreneur group under the brand HADASSAH MEDICAL CENTER CYPRUS, marks the first step in the network's expansion.
In addition to the Limassol center, which has already begun initial operations, planning has commenced for a second hospital in the Nicosia region. The new facility will operate on a medical-business model, integrating local staff with Hadassah Israel's expertise and technology. It will offer advanced services including MRI and CT imaging, cardiology, neurology, laboratory medicine, specialist clinics, and rehabilitation and preventive medicine.
This expansion into Cyprus aligns with broader trends of strengthening trade and strategic relations between Israel and Cyprus, complementing existing collaborations in energy, defense, innovation, and tourism. The move is fully supported by Israeli leadership and Hadassah management, who see it as an opportunity to establish the center as a leading regional healthcare provider.
Dalia Itzik, Chairwoman of Hadassah's Board of Directors, and Professor Yoram Weiss, Director General, emphasized that this initiative allows for the export of Israeli medical innovation and makes life-saving technologies accessible to new populations, fostering strategic and economic ties between the nations. Israeli President Isaac Herzog sent a message for the inauguration ceremony, calling it a new and significant chapter in the partnership between Israel and Cyprus.
The Limassol center is expected to benefit the large number of Israeli tourists visiting Cyprus, as well as the growing local Israeli community, by providing advanced medical care adhering to Israeli standards and enabling direct consultation with Jerusalem-based specialists for remote medical advice and treatment continuity. This follows Hadassah's previous international venture, Hadassah Medical Moscow, opened in 2018, which operates similarly by combining local staff with Israeli medical protocols and expertise.
